Stampin’Up! Sunday Swap Day Snowflakes!

Posted on October 5, 2013 by Carol Payne

For my Sunday Swap Day I decided to share with you some of the cute cards I have received as swaps featuring snowflakes!

Jan Rodrian used the Circle Thinlet Card Die, Winter Frost Designer Paper, a snowflake from the Snowflake Soiree set (on the Holiday Catalog Carryover List), and a Rhinestone Basic Jewel!

When you open and "flip" the card you see the "merry" and more snowflakes from Snowflake Soiree, along with a phrase from another Carryover set, More Merry Messages!

Meg Daves also used the Circle Card Thinlet Die and Winter Frost Designer Paper, adding a current Holiday Catalog snowflake from the Festive Flurry set which she cut out with a coordinating Festive Flurry Framelit!

Meg finished her "flip" side with a phrase from the Holiday Catalog set, Christms Messages.

Tamie Ackerson combined the Christmas Collectibles stamp & punch with the tried-and-true Northern Flurry Textured Impressions Folder and the new Stylish Stripes Folder. The "hanger" for the ornament is the new 1/8" Silver ribbon.

Tamie stamped the inside of her card with one of the four fun greetings in the Joy to the World set.

Karen Kurz white heat-embossed the cute little Snow Day snowman on Coastal Cabana cardstock, then stamped the snowflakes from the same set to complement the Winter Frost Designer Specialty Paper.

Circle Thinlet Cards are really hot right now, and a fun feature of the die is the ability to add an extra flap, which Karen did for hers. She used a phrase from Petite Pairs to finish this card off just right!

Last but definitely not least, Cathy Stephenson used the "dryer sheet" technique to add the look of snow over her stamped "Lovely As a Tree" trees.

"Merry Christmas" from More Merry Messages says it all.

That's all for now. Thanks so much for stopping by today. Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!

Stampin’ Up! Christmas Messages Circle Thinlet Card!

Posted on October 4, 2013 by Carol Payne

Today's card is the third card we will be making today and tomorrow at my October Christmas Card Class using the Circle Thinlet Card Die, Christmas Messages stamp set, and Season of Style Designer Series Paper.

We will also be adding some dashes of Season of Style Washi Tape and Rhinestone Basic Jewels!

This card is modified just a bit from the standard Circle Thinlet card because it has an extra flap! The measurements of the card base before cutting with the Thinlet Die are 8 1/2" x 5 1/2".

Wonderful Wreath is stamped with Old Olive ink then cut out with the scallop circle die included in the Circle Thinlet Card Die set. The center of the wreath is stamped with the Be Very Merry stamp, and the "berries" are Season of Style Washi Tape on Whisper White scraps punched with the Owl Builder Punch.

The final touch is the miniature wreath, also made with Season of Style Washi Tape, the 1/2" Circle Punch, and the 7/8" Circle Punch! The "bow" on the wreath is made with two of the Owl Builder Punch Hearts!

That's all for now! Thanks so much for stopping in today to see what I've been up to!

Don't forget my Online SWOW and Christmas Card Class options, available through Sunday night! To get the Hostess Code info, just go to my October 3rd post!

Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!

Stampin’Up! O Holy Night!

Posted on October 1, 2013 by Carol Payne

I did a bit of Pinterest searching today and found some Founder's Circle swaps posted. I was found this card swapped by Shelli Gardner, Co-Founder of Stampin' Up! and her daughter, Sara Douglas:

I was inspired to create this card for my Christmas Card Class this month:

I used the O Holy Night stamp set, Gold Heat Embossing, Pretty Print Textured Impressions Folder, Gold Metallic Encore Pad, and Apothecary Accents Framelits.

Inside I used the new single stamp Magical Season and the star stamp from O Holy Night.

Up close you can see I added an Antique Brad, accented by a bit of Victoria Crochet Trim and a bit of 1 1/4" Burlap Trim that I cut down and snipped into banner ends.

We don't carry gold brads, but we do have silver, so I dipped my silver brad in the Gold Metallic Pad, then in the Gold Embossing Powder. I held the brad with tweezers while I heated with my Heat Tool. The bow is a single thread from the 1 1/4" Burlap Trim.

That's all for now! I will be busy all day tomorrow cutting paper and finalizing my projects for both my SWOW class and my Christmas Card Class. Let me know if you want to come stamp with me Friday from 1-9 or Saturday from 1-6!

Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!

Hello! It's time to get my monthly swap into the mail, so I've been up late getting mine ready to go!

Each month's swap has a different theme, and this month the theme is to use one of the new Thinlet Card Dies or a fun fold card. I had a few ideas for my swap that just didn't pan out, but I finally came up with this:

Which flips open to reveal this:

Up close of the front:

And up close of the flip side:

Products used:

Stamps: Christmas Collectibles, Petite Pairs

Cardstock: Coastal Cabana (card base), Pool Party, Whisper White

Ink: Pool Party & Island Indigo inkpads and Stampin' Write Markers

Accessories: Circle Thinlet Card Dies, Circles Collection Framelits, Big Shot Die-cutting Machine, Christmas Ornament Punch, Multipurpose Adhesive Sheets, Word Window Punch, Dazzling Diamonds Glitter, Northern Flurry Textured Impressions Folder,Christmas Ornament Punch, Rhinestone Basic Jewels

Note: to achieve the even coverage of the Dazzling Diamonds Glitter on the ornaments, a piece of Multipurpose Adhesive Sheet was applied over the stamped image before punching.

Well, I'm off to bed!

Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!

Stampin’ Up! Festive Flurry Swaps!

Posted on September 15, 2013 by Carol Payne

Hello! I've had a really good day today. Lots of family around here all day, and now Liam is spending the night! Troy had a question for me today when I mentioned Liam was "spending the night". He wanted to know why we say "spend the night", instead of "sleep-over" or "stay". I really had no answer, it is just something we say. Is is just our area of the country? What do you say?

Since we had a family day around here today, I decided to share a couple more of my monthly swaps with you, this time using the Festive Flurry stamps and framelits from the Holiday Catalog. Stampin' Up! knew we would all want them so much they even put them together in a bundle so you can save 15%, how about that?

First up, Lorraine Duran's creation:

Stylish Stripes Textured Impressions Folder, Island Indigo & Whisper White cardstock, Silver Glimmer Paper, Crumb Cake & Island Indigo ink, an Extra Large Rhinestone Basic Jewel, and "a very merry christmas" from the Wishing You stamp set!

After cutting out the negative space with one of the Festive Flurry Framelits, she added a layer of clear Window Sheet to suspend and attach the rest of the snowflake! (so sorry the picture is blurry!)

Rene Watson used the Festive Flurry stamps and framelits for her gorgeous creation, along with Silver heat-embossing and the Perfect Pairs stamp set for the greeting!
